Abstract
An exemplary tissue array, and a method for producing the same, can be provided which can include providing an accepter biological structure(s), providing a donor tissue(s), removing a portion(s) of the donor tissue(s), and removing a portion(s) of the accepter biological structure(s). The removed portion(s) of the accepter biological structure(s) can have a size that is substantially similar to a size of the removed portion(s) of the donor tissue(s). The removed portion(s) of the donor tissue(s) can be inserted into the accepter biological structure(s) at a location substantially corresponding to the removed portion(s) of the accepter biological structure(s).
Claims15
A method for providing a biological arrangement, comprising:
- (a) providing, ex vivo, at least one acceptor biological structure;
- (b) providing at least one donor tissue;
- (c) removing at least one portion of the at least one donor tissue;
- (d) removing, ex vivo, at least one portion of the at least one acceptor biological structure, wherein the at least one removed portion of the at least one acceptor biological structure has a size that is similar to a size of the at least one removed portion of the at least one donor tissue;
- (e) inserting the at least one removed portion of the at least one donor tissue into the at least one acceptor biological structure at a location corresponding to the at least one removed portion of the at least one acceptor biological structure;
- (f) heating the at least one acceptor biological structure after the at least one removed portion of the at least one donor tissue is inserted into the at least one acceptor biological structure;
- and
- (g) at least one of pushing or compressing the at least one acceptor biological structure, while the at least one acceptor biological structure is heated, so as to form a flat surface thereon.
